Baked Bagel Egg-In-The-Hole

Ingredients:

• 6 tablespoons salted butter, melted

• 4 everything bagels, halved

• 4 medium eggs

• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instructions:

1. Preheat & Prep:

   • Preheat the oven to 375°F.

   • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and brush it with 2 tablespoons of melted butter.

2. Prepare the Bagels:

   • Brush the cut sides of the bagels and cutouts with 2 tablespoons of melted butter.

3. Arrange on the Baking Sheet:

   • Place the bagels cut-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

   • Press the bagels down with your palm to ensure they make full contact with the sheet—this prevents the eggs from leaking.

4. Bake the Eggs:

   • Brush the tops of the bagels with the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter.

   • Crack an egg into each bagel hole. Season with salt and pepper.

   • Bake for 11 to 14 minutes:

     • 11 minutes for a runny yolk

     • 14 minutes for a fully set yolk

   • Place the bacon slices in a cold oven on a baking sheet.

   • Set the oven temperature to 350°F and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until crispy.

   • Remove from the oven and place the bacon on a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Once cooled, crumble the bacon.

2. Prepare the Eggs:

   • In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk (or cream), salt, and pepper until well combined.

3. Cook the Scrambled Eggs:
